Amalgami

Amalgami explores the construction of identity and the self through the fragmented nature of personal memories and familial histories. Working primarily through archive, collage, layering, and mixed media, I investigate how the self is not fixed or singular, but instead formed through accumulation, distortion, and reinterpretation over time. The work draws on archival family imagery, documents, and personal photographs to navigate gaps in lineage and the instability of memory. Through this process, I aim to visualize identity as something fluid, an undulating, endless, shifting force, rather than a stable core.
